Thanks mmack! I'll check them out.
Plane swap on UA 706 tomorrow (OGG-LAX) to 757 lie flat. ^

Hmm, well I've got one coming up again in 2 weeks so I'll see. Haven't had the 752 since I think Dec or Jan so its possible my memory is faulty.
Edit: I have a routine dating back when I didn't fly as much of taking a photo and posting a little thing on social networking whenever I flew. Kept on doing it... What's in the photo/post is pretty random, but sometimes there's some good info in it! 12/21/16 BOG-IAH had both Polaris pillow and blanket, 11/29/16 had at least a pillow. 7/2/16 BOG-IAH had an amenity kit which we mostly don't get (I think I took a photo because it was that metal Olympics one that tends to get squished).

What are the current pillows and blankets on ORD-OGG and HNL-ORD? These are 777s with old UA-style lie-flat seats (albeit in slaveship 8-across config).

For the 772 from LAX - HNL we got the scratchy thin blankets and pillows.
Hopefully it will be different in a couple weeks when we fly that route again.

I was looking to fly LAX/SFO to LIH/OGG.
Given that the LIH flights seem to have always lie flat first class that seems appealing.
Do OGG get frequently lie flat also?
Was checking dates in Sept.

Lihue gets the lie-flats because the 752 is needed for the range and short runway. Maui only occasionally gets a lie-flat out of either LAX or SFO, but looks like September has some 752s out of SFO for 4:30pm flight. I also noticed a 772 SFO-OGG, but I forget when.

Did they fit out HNL-SFO with Polaris blankets too? IME I've had nice pillow and blanket flying non-PS flatbed ex-SFO/EWR (ie when they have the amenities anyway for PS), and never ex-IAD/similar non-PS hub, even when the plane has lieflats.

Looks like our UA724 HNL-SFO flight today got swapped from the 772 to the 777-300ER! After the malfunctions with the old UA biz class seats, I hope the new Polaris seats work.
